Our next meetup is in a couple weeks – Thursday April 19th. Most likely we’ll be at the Bear & Bull again on Flinders Lane – though just confirming that now. (UPDATE: yes, it will be at bear & bull on flinders ln between Elizabeth & Queen. We’ll be in the backroom at 6p & kicking off the topic by 630p)

There’s 2 topics we’ve been floating. Feel free to contact us about these or other ideas. If you have a subject you’d like to present on (the ones below or others), let us know.

Topic 1 – infographics & the product manager – this could go in a couple directions (or maybe both!) as the conversation started about using infographics as job descriptions & what the PM role infographic would contain. it also got me thinking about communication & visual techniques. Has anyone used mindmapping, visually mapped the user journey, used some sort of infographic or visual method to communicate? We could explore a few techniques, stories & create a couple artifacts.

Topic 2 – How do you manage your backlog? wishlist? feature requests? are all those things the same or different for you? What are the best tools out there? Do customers interact with your list? Sharing best practices, frustrations & wins will be the topic here.
